Another Scrappy FLimsy

Here's another all scrap quilt.  The blue is from a quilt I made for a wedding present.  The nine patch is 2 1/2 inch squares.  A lot of the scraps are from friends who don't work with small pieces. 

I love this type of mindless sewing.  This makes nine flimsies on a hanger to iron and sandwhich.  This is a small quilt for a newborn.  I always make large baby quilts, but my daughter mentioned when the baby was newborn, she would have used a smaller quilt more oftern.  So I am making a few smaller ones.  I love making them, as they are a lot faster.

These nine patches are from when I was doing a block a day,  I do love whipping out a tip with all the pieces sitting in a box.

This quilt is already sandwhiched.  I will try to quilt it tomorrow on my day off.

Lego quiltm making progress

This is my second lego quilt.  I love doing them in long strips.  I considered doing the 12 inch blocks, but they kinda made me dizzy.  I do love the long thin strips.  I haven't picked a border, need to iron first.  Who's least favorite part of sewing in IRONING, not my favorite thing.  I have been know to pay teenagers to iron my quilts, but I don't have any teenagers who need mad money these days. 

Small Finish

I like this edging a lot.  Love the purple.  Fixing to give this as a gift.  Love having made presents in the gift box.  What kind of gifts do you like to make ahead of time.

Another Finish

This is a small fleece blanket for a friends baby.  I love small finishes.

another finish

Dani and I started this years ago. It took me an hour, then Dani an hour to finish it. 4 fluffs in the dryer, and beautiful. Why does it take us so long to finish things so close to the end.

New baby blanket

Here's a cute little bag Tiff gave me. I love red, can you tell. I get stuck in a the car every now and them, waiting for someone. I keep a book to read, now I have a fun little project to work on. I don't need it on a certain date, so I don't have to hurry, gotta love that. Love the soft color and feel.

New color for baby blanket

Getting a head jump on baby presents. Loved this new color, was so glad when the couple picked it out of several different colors I brought over. I have started working on it, then my needle ran away. So I need to get another one. I am just making a granny square. I do need to learn another simple blanket. Any suggestions?

Some finishes

This is such a cute little fabric, that I had to have it. I love 2 1/2" inch blocks and sashings, and bindings. So I always have nine patches going to use up all these pieces. Then all I have to do is pick borders and the big center patch. It doesn't belong to anyone yet. But one day it will belong to a cute little boy.

Eeek, polka dots don't photo well. This is a little train pattern.

A friend was waiting to adopt a little cutie. She was decorating the room in John Deere so I was going to use Yellow Brick Road pattern by ALKINSON DESIGNS, well when he arrived, he was a year old, and loved soccer. So we made a reversable blanket. I was lucky enough to find large soccer print. Of course, then I needed 2 different pillowslips to match each side. I can't find my ticking fabric to make the little pillow for him. Need to find that so we can get this cute little blanket to him. I love to make either pillow slips or little bags to match the blanket.

Hubby still working on my new ceiling and new air vent. He loves to work on 5 different house projects at a time, which makes such a mess, but since I have 27 quilts in the process, I GUESS I SHOULDN'T CRY.

Topakes new large cage. He loves it, is exploring it slowly. I am so glad he doesn't escape his small cage and chase the dogs around the house, and scare me like he loved to do. Here is bean sprouts that I am growing. He loves bean sprouts, and he loves my hibscus blooms. He eats them as fast as they grow. Oh, can you see the ladder, Kev took down my valance, and has a ladder set up in that den also. sigh.

Ick, did my stove top really look that bad. Yes it did. I broke it when I hit it with my granite cutting board. Kev found this Jenn Aire cook top on a wonderful clearance. He paid 25% of the asking price. YES, he is still excited. There is no gas to it yet, but it has been converted, and really looks nice sitting there. Heye, who needs to eat.
